Christian Ponder!! HM screams "WHAT!?!!", falls off his chair and then bursts into uncontrollable laughter.
I actually watch ACC football and have seen a decent amount of Christian Ponder and Florida State. At no point in any of those games did I ever think that Christian Ponder was first rounder, and especially a top 12 pick!!! Late second rounder, maybe. Apparently the Vikings were attempting to trade down and take Ponder later. Central division rivals should not over-celebrate as I have to believe that the Vikes will sign a veteran (Ponder is not starting game one, right?) and McNabb is a real possibility.
Ponder makes it four QBs in the top 12 picks, mirroring that great "Year of the QB" draft in 1999 (actually 5 qbs in the top 12 that year)!! That year- Tim Couch, McNabb, Akili Smith (vying with Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell for the biggest draft bust ever), and Culpepper. The fifth QB taken that year- Cade McNown!!!!!!! Well, at least Tim Couch is married to Heather Kozar. Viking fans have to hope that this "Year of the QB" is better than 1999.
